Day 2 (Auguste 25) - sunrise on the ocean

As the last faint idea of New Caledonia was disappearing on the horizon and the setting sun colored clouds and sky in deep purple, the Quickstarcrew celebrated the successful first day by a homemade fried fish on salad and roasted veggies.
Still under sail and with Max steering the boat, Barbara starts off on her first night-shift from 6-9pm. Then poor David - whos just only had an hour of rest - got on wathch. But as the wind died at around 10pm he doesn't have to worry too long about how to keep himself awake. Turning on the engine, handsteering kept us bussi for the rest of the night. Under the power of the motor we took the advantage to correct our course, which had due to the wind fallen off our aim by 15nm. As a breeze started to pick up again it was now from the south-west - so directly in our face. Finally next morning after a beautiful sunrise, a good granola breakfast some more snoozing for the ones some more handsteering for the others, the wind had shifted again enough to allow us to shut down the engine and sail on a course of 230 (only 9 degees off our prefered course of 221) towards the australian coast. 11:30am and only 718nm to go to Coffs Harbour!
